The string of warm days earlier this week produced a number of high temperature records for individual communities, but perhaps the most remarkable record occurred on Sunday, October 19th when Browns Valley, MN Traverse County reported 90 degrees F. A temperature this high is most unusual for the second half of October, and was indeed a new state record high for October 19th, breaking the old record of of 88 F at Milan in 2000 and at Winona in 1950. There have been only five other years in Minnesota history, when temperatures of 90 F or higher have been recorded in the second half of the month they were 1910, 1927, 1947, 1950, and 1958. October 30, 1950 at Canby, MN marks the latest fall occurrence of 90 degrees F in the state. But the rest of this October looks to be colder than normal around the state.
